I read the Debian Policy and didn't installed documentation in "/usr/lib".
What I did was move the html manual out of the main program install dir and place it
in "/usr/share/doc", but the web UI links to the manual so I placed a symbolic link.
ln -fs /usr/share/doc/popfile/manual $(DESTDIR)/usr/lib/popfile/manual
Now lintian says the link should be relative. Should I make it relative?

You should have read the Debian Policy document thoroughly.

Put it in the changes list of the lastest version.

You shouldn't change the log of the previous versions anyway. A 'closes #nnnnnn' in
the changes list of a previous version won't be considered.
